THE BOOK OF CTHULHU II

THE BOOK OF CTHULHU II arrives from Night Shade Books on October 16. I am thrilled to have my story “This Is How the World Ends” among the contents, along with 23 other stories by such luminaries as Neil Gaiman, Laird Barron, Michael Chabon, Caitlin R. Kiernan, W.H. Pugmire, Fritz Leiber, and many other talented folks.

The first BOOK OF CTHULHU came out last year to stellar reviews and was called “the ultimate Cthulhu anthology.” So this second volume is bound to deliver the horror goods.
